To bad it doesn't say where the knife was found and how it did go to the museum.
I imagine the person who owned this silver tool was pretty upset when they lost it (if they didn't perish along side it).
- carlob 11y agoSomething excavated in the '90s in the Mediterranean probably officially belongs to the country it was found in, as such it was probably smuggled. If the museum were to say how they got it and where it was found, the rightful owners might claim it…

- JoeAltmaier 11y agoTurns out pocketknives are the most lost thing in the world. Almost everybody loses them almost instantly. The kind with a lanyard last better - if you remember religiously to reattach them after using them. But their handy, pocket-sized dense nature makes them ideal for slipping out of hand or pocket, or being left on a tree stump or post, or plunk! gone in any body of water.
- rokhayakebe 11y agoI say leave it in your car or your bag.
- josefresco 11y agoThe first rule of owning a pocket knife: You can't use it if you don't carry it. In all seriousness, I've battled with this for quite a while and any scheme that involves not carrying your pocket knife on your person, leads to you not having it when you need it most.
- ZoZoBee 11y agoTurns out you're making that up without any statistical proof what so ever, and if you're attaching a knife to a lanyard it is you yourself who becomes the tool
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoCute. No statistics at all? I didn't know the Amazing Kreskin posted on HN! I yield to superior argument.
- ZoZoBee 11y agoWell you kind of pulled that stat straight out of your back pocket
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoAgain with the mentalist act. Clearly others know more about me than I do. Again, I submit to a superior intellect.
